Half-Life 2 Breaks Its Record for Concurrent Players 20 Years After Launch

You were either too young to play it when it came out or too young now.

HL2 alone was worth building a good PC for back in 2004, then you had HL2 Deathmatch and Garry’s Mod soon after which gave a ton of multiplayer fun on top of it.

Nothing came close for years in comparison with HL2 in terms of environment interaction and physics either.
